Acquiring real-world experience is always in style. Just ask Johnson County Community College’s Fashion Merchandising and Design students. On April 26, they will take their education to the next level at our 2019 Fashion Show.

In the spirit of the show’s theme – Threaded Together – 11 students will showcase their original, fashion-forward designs. The event will also feature:

Looks styled from the JCCC historic collection in honor of Karl Lagerfeld, the late designer for Chanel.

According to Joy Rhodes, Professor and Chair of Fashion Merchandising and Design, “This year’s fashion show will be an eclectic assortment of different styles full of fun surprises. We love to show off our talented students to the community and appreciate the continued support for our program scholarships. This is our favorite time of the year!”
